Are you sure you're running devuan?
Oh yes, that's Devuan — I used the netinstall ASCII image then upgraded to beowulf and installed my simple-desktop package and switched to OpenRC.
It's running under 64-bit QEMU/KVM with 4GiB assigned and it runs very well indeed.
devuan:~$ pstree

That looks more like antix.
antiX is awesome but I would have to spend ages gutting it like a fish to get the desktop I want but Devuan lets me work my way up from scratch, which is much quicker and simpler
I can't see your image. All I get are ads when I allow javascript.
Click on "continue to image" to see the image
I never understood the benefits of this program
It displays the memory used for each process running, which can be very useful.
@OP: why not just post the text rather than an image of text?

running fsck from slackware (ver. 14.1) results,
bash-4.2# fsck /dev/sda5 fsck from util-linux 2.21.2 e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) /dev/sda5 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
i have ascii installation image on usb drive, will that be of help?
Yes, run fsck from the USB drive system, the version in Slackware is not compatible.
You should also be able to mount & chroot from the USB system.
v60.7.2 of firefox-esr has just been made available in the Devuan ceres repositories:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/ceres/ … esr-1.html
I presume it will filter down to the other branches soon.
I am not sure about that firewall in the router you have talked about, I can not find anything like that in the router preferences.
I think Dutch_Master is referring to the NAT provided by your router, this is known as a hardware firewall and prevents your local IP addresses from being accessed from the interweb.
If you plug your ethernet connection in directly without using a router then you will lose the protections afforded by NAT, this is not advisable.
Thank you for the advice of a professional!

Which filesystem is Devuan installed on?
Do you have the appropriate filesystem tools package installed in the system from which you are trying to mount the Devuan partition?
Have you tried fsck?
It may be best to boot the Devuan ASCII minimal-live.iso image to ensure compatibility:
it is currently at 60.7.0esr-1~deb9u1
this is not https.
Why do you care if your ISP can see which packages you are downloading?
Try
wget https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/firefox-esr_60.7.1esr-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i firefox-esr_60.7.1esr-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb
ip addr add 192.168.0.254/27 brd + dev eth0
followed by
ip link set eth0 up
That address looks wrong — are you sure you need a /27 subnet mask? Most networks will use /24 instead.
And you don't need the brd + bit at all.
To determine the correct address range enable DHCP, use that to connect and then run
ip a
ip r
The addresses can then be copied for your custom commands.
It do not work for me.
You need to post exactly what you tried so that we can see where you went wrong.
Have you populated /etc/resolv.conf with valid nameservers?
I use the plain ip command & wpa_supplicant to connect via wireless on my laptop, it works well.
It should be fine to use the openSUSE Build Service to host Devuan stuff using their Debian VMs, the distributions are binary compatible. It has options for testing/unstable repositories now.
Just be careful about systemd dependencies
The OBS supports Fedora & CentOS as well btw.
Try adding your video driver module to the initramfs to get an early KMS start.
Add the name of the module (i915 for Intel) to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and run
# update-initramfs -u -k all
Unfortunately sysvinit does not offer true process supervision and so is incapable of keeping track of running services.
Try OpenRC instead, that does offer process supervision.
List running services and their status with
rc-status
Display all available services with
rc-update -v show
They seem to have been updated yesterday.
if it is a good idea to upgrade everything to the version in backports
No, not at all.
From the official Debian site:
Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and backports are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable. Use with care!
It is therefore recommended to only select single backported packages that fit your needs, and not use all available backports.
And because backports are drawn from testing they are also subject to the same 10-14 day transition delay from sid and are not covered by the Security Team so you may be exposing your system to serious vulnerabilities.
Stay friendly folks!
I have nothing but love for Panopticon and I totally agree with their assessment.
@Nili: thank you but I can be a real asshole when I'm in a mood
Sorry for the OT, OP!
The elogind package was created by the Devuan developers and adopted by Debian.
Thanks Devuan!
You are like an embeded virus
Thanks d00d, that's the nicest thing anybody's said to me in a while
It might be worth submitting a bug report to Debian against the buster dbus package complaining that it depends solely on libsystemd0 when it should have libelogind0 as an alternative dependency.
Or tell the init-diversity mailing list and see what they say about it:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/mailm … -diversity
FWIW I had beowulf running dbus-free under OpenRC, it was lovely
I'm reading in a few places that the systemd on Debian is really, really bad.
Do you have any links? Sounds like FUD to me...
The package maintainers are leaving Debian!
So two maintainers have left then?
Debian have over 250 developers so I'm sure they'll manage
People are saying that if you want a "stable" systemd-based system, you have to choose CentOS or Arch.
Which people?
Arch isn't stable at all, it changes all the time. It is surprisingly reliable though, as long as you install the LTS kernel — the non-LTS kernel breaks a lot (and certainly more often than systemd).
Any thoughts?
Nice troll post, well done
updating both sysvinit-core and systemd-shim?
The shim is dead and buried but sysvinit-core is alive & well and receiving updates in Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/sysvinit-core
The Debian developers have adopted the Devuan elogind package to keep init diversity, as your link explains.
https://packages.debian.org/buster/elogind
I'm sure they would welcome any donations
There is no ~/.conkyrc file
Well make one then:
cp /etc/conky/conky.conf ~/.conkyrc && editor ~/.conkyrc
Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Restore the file with
# apt reinstall conky
Did it but again, I can only access to my desktop as a root user and in normal user, it didn't solve my problem: desktop with only mouse pointer but nothing else, no conky, no plank nor right-click either.
Ooops, sorry, that's a dummy package.
Try
# apt reinstall conky-std # or conky-cli or conky-all if you have those version instead
If things still won't work then try deleting ~/.Xauthority and if that doesn't fix it then check for root-owned files in $HOME:
find ~ -user root
editing it in /etc/conky/conky.conf
That's a really bad idea, use ~/.conkyrc instead.
Restore the file with
# apt reinstall conky
as a root user, I still can access to my desktop
That's an even worse idea, don't do that. Ever.
Sorry OP, I'm not prepared to help you add MX sources because I don't think it's a good idea.
I also don't think wine-staging will behave any differently.
If I open an other TTY and then "startx", my session open and freeze as well.
Well then it can't be a display manager issue, can it?
Boot to a console and try startx from there to eliminate the DM as a source of this issue.
Have you checked your drive & memory health?
What are your sources?
apt policy
Check the syslog for any clues.
